Adult Bronx Day Services 2014
ADULT DAY SERVICES OVERVIEW OF ADULT DAY SERVICES
The following programs/services are available for students who are graduating from the Department of Education as well as anyone eligible for OPWDD
services over the age of 21. Occasionally people are accepted at age 16 or 18.
DAY HABILITATION is a service under OPWDD’s Home and Community Based Wavier (HCBS). This program assist individuals to acquire, retain or improve their
self-help socialization and adaptive skills including communication, travel and other areas in adult education. Day Habilitation regularly takes place in a nonresidential setting separate from the person’s private residence or other home. The person’s activities and environments are designed to foster the
deployment of skills and appropriate behavior, greater independence, community inclusion, relationship building, self-advocacy and informed choice.
Additionally, individuals accessing Day Habilitation often contribute to their communities through volunteer work. Transportation is provided.
DAY HABILITATION WITHOUT WALLS provides the same service as DAY HABILITATION but the only difference is that the people gather at a site or hub from
there they go out to the community. In some instances the person is picked up from home and goes with the staff in the community. Transportation is
provided.
WORK READINESS PROGRAMS address the issue of occupational exploration, job hunting techniques, and the behaviors necessary to hold a job. A significant
component of this type of program is devoted to the individual’s participation in community-based work internships. Staff works directly with each person at a
work site to further assess their work skills, preferences and support needs. Considerable time is spent on training people to travel independently to work
locations. The final phase of the program involves individualized job placement with intensive job coaching services. The coach helps each person learn work
tasks and appropriate work behaviors. Coaching continues as needed to insure job relation. Transportation is not provided.

world of work” but whose skills are such that they may not expect to obtain competitive employment within the next year. The
individual may or may not perform work for which he or she is paid while receiving prevocational services. These services include
support and training related to the ability to obtain and retain employment excluding training on job tasks per se. Transportation is

CHILDREN’S SERVICES
Early Intervention (0 – 3 years old)
Early Intervention is a comprehensive interagency program that supports infants and children with developmental delays in their
efforts to realize their full potential. It reduces the likelihood of delays among at-risk children, assists and empowers families to meet
their child’s and their own needs and entitles children, regardless of race, ethnicity or income, to services through the program.
Pre-School Program (3 – 5 years old) (CPSE – Committee on Pre-School Education
Children between the ages of 3 and 5 years of age may be referred to the Committee on Pre-School Special Education (SPSE) for an
initial evaluation and/or there are concerns about the child’s cognitive, behavior, articulation, language, fine motor or gross motor
development. This is a voluntary process, and the referral may be withdrawn at any time, if the parent wishes to do so.
School Age program (5 – 21 years old) (CSE – Committee on Special Education
Children between the ages of 5 to 21 may receive services through the Committee on Special Education (CSE). Eligibility is
determined when a student is found to have a significant delay in cognitive, language, articulation, and fine motor, and gross motor,
social or emotional skill. The delay must affect the student’s ability to make educational gains in order to qualify for the services.
Universal Pre-K
H.R. 555: Universal pre-Kindergarten Act was established to assist States in establishing a universal pre-kindergarten program to
ensure that all children 3, 4 and 5 years old have access to high-quality full-day, full calendar year pre-kindergarten education.

Medicaid Service Coordination
75
What is MSC?
Medicaid Service Coordination is a Medicaid State Plan service provided by OPWDD that assists persons with developmental disabilities in gaining
access to necessary services and supports appropriate to their needs. OPWDD delivers almost all service coordination through its Medicaid Service
Coordination program. MSC is provided by qualified service coordinators and uses a person-centered planning process in developing, implementing,
and maintaining an individualized service Plan.
MSC provides a vital link to information about service options. The service coordinator works with individuals and their families to develop a plan of
care that assures individuals who are eligible for OPWDD services receive the assistance they need.
Who is eligible to receive MSC?
order to receive MSC, a person must:
In
1. Have a documented diagnosis of a developmental disability
2. Be enrolled in Medicaid.
3. Demonstrate a need for ongoing and comprehensive, rather than incidental service coordination.
4. Live outside of an intermediate Care Facility (ICF), Developmental center (DC), Psychiatric Hospital, Small Residential unit (SRU), Nursing Facility
or Hospital, or any other Medicaid Funded setting that provides service coordination.
5. Not be enrolled in any comprehensive Medicaid long-term service coordination program.
Most of OPWDD programs require Medicaid. If you do not currently have Medicaid, but are in need of any services contact, call Medicaid Service
Coordination agencies and inquire about the home and community based waiver.
Plan of Care Support Services
PCSS is an alternative form of service coordination. PCSS providers assist individuals to review and update their individualized service Plan. PCSS is
delivered by a qualified Medicaid service Coordinator. Typically, an individual must have received at least three months of Medicaid Service
Coordination to eligible for PCSS, with the exception of early intervention enrollees.

INTRODUCTION
As a family member of a person with developmental disabilities, placement of your loved one in the care of a residential service
provider can be one of the most difficult decisions you will ever have to make. In planning the future for someone, you want to
make sure that your family member will be safe and secure and receive the kind of care and treatment that will put your mind at
ease.
There are many agencies in the Bronx that offer residential options. Their mission is to provide housing for people with disabilities,
assisting them to lead meaningful and productive lives in the manner they choose, in their own communities, with the supervision
and supports they need. These services range from 24-hour supervised homes to apartments for more independent individuals.
When the time to consider a residential opportunity for a person and his/her family arrives, it will be necessary to seek information
about what services the person needs where that person and/or the family would like services and which agency they would like to
provide the services.
This guide serves to give you some knowledge about residential options, some questions you should ask when you speak with an
agency and the names, addresses and contact persons of organizations that provide residential services in the Bronx.
All of the organizations listed are licensed by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). The
local office, the Metro NY Developmental Disabilities office (DDSO), can also be contacted for further information at 718-430-0474.
You may also receive further support and assistance through the Bronx DD council both at the Executive Board meetings as well as
the monthly Residential Committee meetings.
For more info call Kathleen Cucinell at (914) 375-8898.
Please know that you are not alone out there. Good luck!

NEW YORK CARES GUIDING PRINCIPLES
New York Cares is a program for ongoing out-of-home residential development for people with Developmental Disabilities who live
in communities throughout the New York State. Individuals who need out-of-home residential services and are eligible for those
services from OPWDD and who are registered on the out-of-home residential waiting list shall:

have access to community-based services consistent with their need in an individualized services environment;

play a significant role in developing those services through a person-centered approach that considers their needs and
choices;

be able to continue relationships with family, friends and other individuals; and

have the opportunity for increased independence, individualization and inclusion in the communities where they will be
served.
92
Certified Supportive and Supervised Residences
Residential Habilitation services provide individually tailored supports that assist with skills related to living in the
community. These supports include adaptive skill development; assistance with activities of daily living (hands-on);
community inclusion and relationship building; training and support for independence travel; transportation; adult
educational supports; development of social skills; leisure skills; self-advocacy and informed choice skills; and appropriate
behavior development to help the individual access their community. Residential Habilitation also may include program
related personal care and protective oversight and supervision.
Family Care (FC)
Family Care is a certified program that provides a structured and stable home environment within a family unit to a person
with developmental disability, offering support, guidance, and companionship. Family Care providers are home owners who
receive a monthly stipend to care for individuals with developmental disabilities in their own homes. Learn more about
Family Care program by reading our brochure (also available in Spanish), or contact your local DDSO.
Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA)
Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA’S) are certified homes that provide room, board and individualized service options.
There are two different kinds of IRA’s. A Supervised Individualized Residential Alternative is home that has staff nearby at all
times that individuals are at the residence. A supportive Individualized Residential Alternative is a home in which living is
more independent and supervision is based on the person’s need for supervision; staffs typically are not onsite at all times
when residents are home.
93
Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF)
Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF’s) are residential treatment options in the community for individuals with specific medical
and/or behavioral needs. ICF’s provide 24-hour on site assistance and training, intensive clinical and direct-care services,
supervised activities and a variety of therapies. ICFs are designed for individuals whose disabilities severely limit their ability
to live independently.
Community Residences (CR)
Community Residences (CR) provide housing, supplies for daily living like food and toiletries, and services on a daily basis for
individuals who have Developmental Disabilities. Community Residences foster supportive interpersonal relationships, offer
supervision to ensure health and safety, and assistance in learning activities that are a part of daily living. Community
Residences are designed to provide a home environment, and also provide a setting where individuals can acquire skills
necessary to live as independently as possible There are two types of community residences; supervised, in which staff are
nearby at all times that individuals are in the residence, and supportive, in which living is more independent. In supportive
community residences, staff are on-site and available less than the entire time that individuals are home, based on the
specific support needs of an individual.
